For the next few months there will be much discussion over this great international issue. Its settlement touches the tariff, world markets, ar- maments and a host of minor side is- sues not now apparent. President Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt have unequivocably an- nounced that they are opposed to can- cellation. Leaders in both branches of Congress are on record in many instances against cancellation. Europea governments have made commitments among themselves re- garding their own obligations to one another. As President Hoover clearly points out in his telegram to Mr. Roosevelt, these commitments “could not be based upon any assurances of the United States.” Remission of Germany's reparation obligations in part at least was contingent to some extent upon what debt adjustment France and England could make with the United States. The problem then passes from one of cancellation to a policy which will permit Europe to make other tangible --$7.20 | ing no reparations as indemnification 20 | of these war debts doubtless branded |us as foolish idealists, if not, to use a] 5.00 | vulgar expression, as easy marks. ‘ar $1.00 {Country puts a new face on our debt « 2.50 | tion with millions of her citizens out 2.00|and more realism in the handling of ——— | the situation, _; thousands of acres most of which are |to embarrass the United States in the | ‘own foolish tariff regulations and the |retaliatory tariffs of our neighbors. | Secrifices this nation made during | the war seem to have been forgotten | }in Europe.

Negotiations in regard to world debts in the United States is not one of diplomacy alone, but Congress must be considered as its consent is neces- sary. Despite the fact that President Hoover's plan of a debt moratorium was agreed to by Congress, that body hhas gone on record very definitely against cancellation. It defined its approval of the Hoover moratorium in definite language at the time. Any plan proposed by President Hoover will mean a battle in Congress. ‘The recent tariff conference at Ot- tawa, the net results of which will cause a decrease in trade with our northern neighbor, has not put this country in a very friendly attitude toward Great Britain. There also comes into the picture the millions Spent by France, England and Italy in building up great armaments. To the man in the street even, it must be impressive that less money spent on armaments would mean more money to pay off debts to the United States. Boiled down and shorn of all diplo- matic verbiage, cancellation of the foreign debts means the transfer of some eleven billions to the backs of American taxpayers. But this is not all of the war debt situation. From time to time, starting with the Harding administration, many generous concessions have been made to Europe. There has been material debt cancellation already so that the obligations which the United States now insists on being paid have been diminished by American generosity during the boom days when it ap- eared wise public policy to deal leni- ently with foreign customers. - Turning to what our debtor nations spend on arms, we find that expendi- tures for military purposes during the last fiscal year by these nations now asking cancellation or extension mounted to nearly two billion dol- lars. France and Great Britain, which nations owe us the most, spent more than half of this amount. ‘Those who urge cancellation of the ‘war debts, state that such a policy will end the present depression. This is branded as fallacious by one group of statesmen and applauded as logical by another.

Thus I penned for eventual con- sumption an item concerning William Morris, the late vaudeville and stage | booking magnate. Morris was a de- votee of pinochle. For many months, his health was such as to give worry to his friends and family. Yet he would manage to get down town to the Friars’ Club, where Walter Kelly, “the Virginia Judge,” was his favorite opponent. His kin did not mind so much his Playing as his interest, which often kept him at the table until 4 o'clock in the morning or later. On the night of his death, Morris arrived an- |mouncing that he would play—but “midnight will be my limit.” So he said. By midnight he was dead, And if it is possible for humans to choose the place and means of death, Morris—I believe—would have died just that way—with his pals over a Pinochle game.

The plane crashes and Fanchon is the only sur- vivor.

Two days later, he calls at the Carstairs home. Collin and his mother are skeptical about him be- cause of Fanchon’s strained attitude in his presence. Months later, Tony tells Fanchon she must induce Mrs. Carstairs to wear her emeralds to the Van Suydam Ball. He suggests that Fanchon go away with him, Fanchon has no alternative. At the ball, Tony wears a Romeo costume similar to Collin’s. CHAPTER XXIV Collin continued, unheeding: “You have not been yourself since this Cesare Gilli turned up, out of the blue. Who is this man, Evelyn? ‘What is he to you? What hold has ke over yout” She replied, her heart beating rap- idly: “None, Collin, don’t be absurd... T’ve told you all about him.

Is there now annoys you by his importui ties? Of course, Gilli! I was blind not to have seen.” She did not answer. She could not. It was true, And yet it was untrue, “Oh, Evelyn,” Collin said, with a more complete loss of self-control than she had ever witnesed in him, “T have been a blundering idiot. And I have used this man as an excuse to stay here longer... an excuse to be near you. I should, I realize, have gone long ago. Perhaps I should have run from you that very first day in the rose garden... when we quarreled, and when, ‘against my will, I fell in love with you...” he said, trying to speak more lightly, “but it was—Kismet, I suppose.
